Message-ID: <91032.000712MAJI@SLACVM.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU> Date: 1 Feb 91 08:07:12 GMT Organization: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Lines: 9 I went to local amiga dealer this afternoon. He told me that amiga drive can read MS-DOS disk with proper software. Is this implies that one can use IBM clone floppy drive to substitute a amiga drive? Currently amiga drive cost about twice as expensive as a clone drive, while amiga drive has small capacity (880K) Is there some one has done this? Do you need to modify the connector etc? Thanks Maji
